College Football Odds Week 9: Opening lines
Patrick Everson
Quarterback Sean Clifford hopes to help Penn State rebound from last week's upset loss at Indiana. But it'll be a tough task against No. 5 Ohio State, which is a 12.5-point road favorite at FanDuel.
College football odds for Week 9 are on the betting board and already getting action, most notably for the lone matchup featuring two ranked teams. No. 3 Ohio State hits the road for a key Big Ten contest against No. 17 Penn State.
College football Week 9 odds
Michigan State at (14) Michigan odds
Opening line
Michigan -24.5, Over/Under 53.5
Why the line moved
Michigan is a monster favorite on Halloween, and in fact, the first move on this line at FanDuel was to Wolverines -25.5. However, the line reverted back to the opener of -24.5 Monday afternoon on two-way action, with 53 percent of bets on Michigan and 51 percent of money on Michigan State. The total is up to 54.5 Monday evening, with practically all the early tickets and 83 percent of early money on the Over.
(16) Kansas State at West Virginia odds
Opening line
West Virginia -3.5, Over/Under 50.5
Why the line moved
The Mountaineers remain -3.5 at FanDuel on Monday night, but the betting splits are wildly in favor of the Wildcats, as early tickets and money are both in the 9/1 range on Kansas State. The total is already down 2 points to 48.5 Monday night, with 55 percent of early bets on the Over, but more than 90 percent of early money on the Under.
Boston College at (1) Clemson Odds
Opening line
Clemson -31.5, Over/Under 60.5
Why the line moved
Another game, another massive spread for Clemson, and the line hasn't moved at all as of Monday night. The Tigers are taking 59 percent of tickets/79 percent of money, but that money is apparently so light that it's not yet moving the number. The total is up to 61.5, with practically every ticket and dollar on the Over.
(3) Ohio State at (17) Penn State odds
Opening line
Ohio State -10.5, Over/Under TBA
Why the line moved
This is the game of the week on an otherwise very nondescript schedule, and Ohio State is getting all the early attention. Penn State's 36-35 upset loss as 7-point chalk at Indiana probably has plenty to do with that, as both teams head into Week 2 of Big Ten play. The Buckeyes are already up to -12.5, landing 92 percent of bets and 97 percent of cash on the spread.
Memphis vs (7) Cincinnati Odds
Opening line
Cincinnati -6.5, Over/Under 60.5
Why the line moved
Through Monday night, this line is pinned at Cincinnati -6.5, despite point-spread tickets and money running more than 9/1 on the Bearcats. That would seem to indicate pretty light action at FanDuel thus far. The total dropped in a big hurry Monday, from 60.5 to 55.5 before rebounding to 56.5, with 60 percent of bets on the Over, but 69 percent of money on the Under.
Texas at (6) Oklahoma State odds
Opening line
Oklahoma State -2.5, Over/Under 57.5
Why the line moved
Oklahoma State looks to stay unbeaten, and early action at FanDuel leans toward the Cowboys, who are up to -3.5 and attracting 67 percent of bets and 56 percent of money on the spread. The total is up a point to 58.5, with nearly every ticket and dollar on the Over through Monday night.
Central Florida at Houston odds
Opening line
Houston +3.5, Over/Under 77.5
Why the line moved
FanDuel opened Central Florida -3.5 on the road and is down to -2.5, though ticket count and dollars bet are running about 8/1 on the Knights. The first move on the total was down a point to 76.5, but it's now up to 78.5, with tickets and money in the 9/1 range on the Over.
LSU at Auburn odds
Opening line
Auburn +2.5, Over/Under 62.5
Why the line moved
Perhaps surprisingly, neither defending national champion LSU nor Auburn are ranked heading into this SEC clash. LSU ticked up to -3.5 a couple of times Monday at FanDuel, but the line is back at the opener of -2.5 Monday night, despite a ticket count of 4/1 and nearly all the money on the Tigers. The total is up a point to 63.5, but FanDuel didn't have early betting splits.
Mississippi State at (2) Alabama odds
Opening line
Alabama -31.5, Over/Under 62.5
Why the line moved
The second-ranked Crimson Tide initially moved to -32.5 at FanDuel, but are down to -30.5 Monday night. Point-spread ticket count is almost dead even, although 73 percent of early money is on Alabama. The total is up two points to 64.5, with early tickets more than 8/1 and early money more than 9/1 on the Over.
(5) Georgia at Kentucky odds
Opening line
Kentucky -15.5, Over/Under 44.5
Why the line moved
This line bounced around a bit early at FanDuel, dipping to Georgia -13.5 and back to the opener of -15.5, before settling at -14.5. The total is down two points to 42.5. FanDuel didn't have betting splits available Monday night.

Fresno State will be looking to bounce back on Thursday after losing to Hawaii 34-19 in its opener last week. (AP)
How to Handicap Colorado State-Fresno State
The Bulldogs were West division champions in 2017 and 2018 and won the Mountain West title in 2018. Last season the team slipped to 4-8 after going a combined 22-6 the prior two seasons.
Last Saturday, Fresno State hosted Hawai’i to open the season and wound up with a 34-19 defeat. It was a competitive game much of the way with Hawai’i up 17-13 at halftime and Fresno State within eight twice in the second half before a late Warriors touchdown put the game away.
Fresno State lost the yardage battle 552-409 and the turnover battle 4-1. It was the first game for Hawai’i under Todd Graham and the Warriors surprised with 53 rushing attempts for 323 yards on the ground. Playing from behind much of the way, Fresno State leaned on Jake Haener in the passing game, connecting for some big plays with 289 yards on only 17 completions but with three interceptions.
Colorado State didn’t play last week as the opener with New Mexico was called off with Covid-19 issues on New Mexico’s side. There are no plans to reschedule that game and the Rams will now open on the road a week later coming off a 4-8 2019 season. After a 1-5 start the Rams did win three games in a row in the conference season last year before losing the final three games in mostly competitive results.
Last season Colorado State finished only -14 in MWC scoring differential despite a 3-5 record, likewise Fresno State finished 2-6 while only -17 in scoring as both teams have some positive indicators for improvement in 2020.
Coaching Changes
Colorado State hired longtime Georgia assistant Mike Bobo ahead of the 2015 season and after three straight 7-5 regular seasons concluding with bowl losses the Rams turned in back-to-back losing seasons in 2018 and 2019.
Bobo missed some time ahead of the 2019 season with health issues and was ultimately fired after the Rams finished 4-8 last season. He completed five years at 28-35 including 20-20 in conference play as the Rams didn’t approach the success Jim McElwain had in 2013 and 2014.
The Rams wound up hiring Steve Addazio to take over the program last winter, shortly after Addazio was somewhat surprisingly released by Boston College. With geographical challenges in the ACC Addazio went 44-44 over seven seasons with the Eagles and despite a 22-34 overall ACC mark, his teams were at least 4-4 five times and made bowl games six of his seven seasons.
He was unemployed just over a week even though his ties and coaching history has been exclusively on the east coast. Long-time assistant Chuck Heater is his defensive coordinator with Heater an assistant at Colorado State for two seasons and at Colorado for six seasons in the 1990s, while most recently an assistant at Florida last season. Joey Lynch is the new offensive coordinator after climbing the ranks as an assistant at Ball State the past decade.
Fresno State also is in its first season with a new head coach as Jeff Tedford’s second stint at Fresno State ended after three seasons as he stepped down citing health reasons. Tedford revived the program with an incredible turnaround from inheriting a team that went 1-11 in 2016 to 10-4 in 2017. His offensive coordinator in 2017 and 2018 was Kalen DeBoer, who was brought back to Fresno with the opening last winter.
DeBoer was a head coach at NAIA Sioux Falls from 2005-2009, going 67-3 with three NAIA Championships. He jumped up as a coordinator at FCS Southern Illinois and then to FBS at Eastern Michigan before joining Tedford in Fresno. Last season he was lured away to be the OC and QB Coach at Indiana where the Hoosiers went 8-5 and were the second most productive offense in the Big Ten averaging 444 yards per game.
Betting Analysis – Rams
2019: 4-8 S/U, 6-6 ATS, 4/8 O/U
The first game of the season can offer an opportunity for mistakes but it also can be an advantage, particularly for a team in a coaching change.
There isn’t film on Colorado State right now under Addazio as the Rams weren’t able to play last week in the scheduled opener vs. New Mexico, a more favorable matchup where Addazio’s team may have been able to work out some kinks. Addazio was 6-1 S/U and 3-3-1 ATS in season openers at Boston College including a notable upset hosting Virginia Tech to open last season.
Last season Boston College rushed for nearly 3,300 yards on 5.0 yards per carry, rushing more than twice as often as they passed. Addazio teams have always preferred to run but a quarterback injury plus having NFL draft pick A.J. Dillon in the backfield likely led to a greater tilt to the ground in 2019.
One can assume Patrick O’Brien will be starting at quarterback as the incumbent that posted adequate numbers last season after now South Carolina quarterback Collin Hill was injured. Addazio hasn’t made that official however as Temple transfer Todd Centeio joined the team this summer. Last year’s top rusher Mavin Kinsey has graduated but senior Marcus McElroy returns and should be in line to lead the running game.
Colorado State and Boston College both struggled with run defense last season ranking 102nd and 93rd respectively on a per carry basis as that is an area where Fresno State was stronger last season. Addazio’s Boston College defense allowed 6.3 yards per play last season for 107th nationally though having to play both Clemson and Notre Dame on the road contributed heavily to those results.

2019: 4-8 S/U, 4-7-1 ATS, 8/4 O/U
2020: 0-1 S/U, 0-1 ATS, 0/1 O/U
Expectations are high for the Fresno State offense given how successful the team was with DeBoer in 2017 and 2018 and the big numbers that he produced in a breakthrough season for Indiana last year. The start of last week’s game couldn’t have gone better as Hawai’i fumbled on the opening kickoff and five plays later the Bulldogs reached the end zone, including Haener delivering a big play on 3rd-and-13 to avoid having to force a long field goal try. Fresno State had turnovers on the next two possessions before uneven results the rest of the way as Hawai’i eventually pulled away.
Ronnie Rivers led Fresno State with 79 rushing yards but the Bulldogs gained just 3.2 yards per rush and were outrushed 323-120 by Hawai’i. Haener has decent mobility and rushed 13 times last week as the Washington transfer took his first snaps since a few token appearances for the Huskies in 2018. Marcus McMaryion had terrific results for Fresno State in 2017 and 2018 before the production slipped last season under senior Jorge Reyna.
Rivers was the team’s leading rusher in 2019 with 899 yards while averaging 5.1 yards per carry and reaching the end zone 13 times. Rivers was also the team’s second leading receiver last season, only four catches behind top receiver Zane Pope, who didn’t play last week and might be out for a few more weeks to take a toll on the passing game options for the Bulldogs.
Fresno State was the top defensive scoring team by a wide margin in the MWC in both 2017 and 2018 before allowing 255 points in 2019, 168 more points than the season before. The defensive coordinator this season is William Inge who followed DeBoer after serving as the special teams coordinator and a linebackers coach at Indiana for the past seven seasons.

Coming off a pair of division titles the Bulldogs were 3-3 but the losses included an eight-point loss at USC and a double-overtime loss to Minnesota.

The game would be tied 31-31 a few minutes into the fourth before Colorado State seemed to blow its chance at the upset with an interception in the end zone.
The Rams defense got the ball right back with its own interception a few plays later however, handing the offense a short field. Colorado State cashed in with a touchdown and then after stopping Fresno State on downs they sealed the win with a late field goal to win 41-31. Colorado State posted a 500-388 yardage advantage with most of that edge coming in the passing game.
